Additional help with cd4059a circuit
At power up you have to follow next procedure to setup a certain counting mode and divider into the 4059...

I'm assuming that "Crazy Inventor" is trying to create the circuit for a hydrogen generator coil circuit. I am trying to make this circuit as well. the manual i have has been very descriptive to this point. it simply states that i should connect pin 3 of my 555 timer in my electrode circuit to pin 2 of the 555 timer in my coil circuit by means of a CD4059A divide by n chip.
there is no schematic in the manual showing how to set this chip up at all. it says it needs to be set for "15 kHz - 20 kHz/1000"
i've found the datasheet on this chip, but am still none the wiser as to how to set it up in a circuit.
It looks as though you have already drawn this circuit out, but i'm not sure if you drew it with the specific settings i need. i'm not sure what Vdd or Vss (pins 24 and 12 respectively) stand for.
My electronics expertise branches only from a "
basic electronics" class in high school (1993-1994) I can read a schematic- for the most part anyway
- and assemble the circuit, but my ability to design... well there is very little of that going on
i understand what the circuit is supposed to do, but i don't know how to set up this chip.
I looked at the jpg on your response and have a good idea about how to assemble it, but i'm not 100% sure about it. which jumpers should i close?
Would you mind helping me with this?
* i'm using a 12-15 Volt supply.
* the frequency going in will be 15 - 20kHz
* The output frequency needs to be 15 - 20Hz (Divide by 1000)
* i already have the CD4059a chip
Thank you for your time
